De Niro & Several Aussies Join “Killer Elite”

Robert De Niro and several Australian actors look to have joined the cast of the action-thriller “The Killer Elite” for Omnilab Media and Inferno Entertainment reports The Herald Sun and Moviehole.

Based on the Ranulph Fiennes novel ‘The Feather Man’, Clive Owen will play the senior field operative of a secret group of former British special forces members fighting to protect the families of fellow SAS agents.

Jason Statham plays a former Navy SEAL who comes out of retirement in order to lead a team of assassins in pursuit of them. De Niro has been approached but has not yet been confirmed to play Statham’s mentor who has been kidnapped and is being used as leverage against him.
